The Queer Eye star, 37, spoke with Us Weekly at the Angel Ball on Monday, October 22, where he touched on the task of tackling the big day. “I started planning my wedding when I was 9 years old. I’m the guy that literally had a booklet that I would secretly stash in my locker as I was coming off from football practice that like, ‘This is what my wedding’s going to be like,’” the emcee of the night told Us at the event, which raised $3 million for blood cancer research. “I’ve already been in pre-pre-planning mode.”
